Sound and Health through Music Workshop

In this workshop, music guides participants into a place of deep relaxation within. We pay attention to our breathing and to the effect of the music as it calms and focuses our bodies and minds, and to the moments of quiet between the periods of music. Michael plays Indian ragas, Celtic music and Bach on the violin, and invites us to sing together to enliven the overall experience. No singing experience is required and participation is voluntary.

The short periods of silence between the musical experiences reduce stress, deepen breathing, and calm the emotions and mind. Participants report a relaxed body and mind, deeper and slower breathing, and awareness of the vibration of the music in the body.
